It's good that the documentary allowed them to talk -- it showcases what these kinds of people are like. They never apologize. They continue to blame others. They take no responsibility. They do not care about others. The people in their lives - their children - say they support them because they have been manipulated by their constant lies. These sociopaths are the people who are running most businesses, schools, courthouses, hospitals. These are the people hiring and firing and calling the shots. We need to end the domination and procreation of sociopaths by enforcing the law. People need to see examples of these people - how they talk, how they demand sympathy - through their endless justifications and unfounded belief in themselves.

- GoofsPresumably, the filmmakers intended to show Tucker's racing footage as part of the narration when in fact the racing footage used was from the 1996 BPR International Endurance GT Series that took place primarily in Europe (and twice in Asia), 10 years before Tucker began his racing career, competing primarily in the United States. The in-car footage depicts that of Steve Soper (as written on his helmet), who drove for a different team not shown on screen. He is clearly shown driving a McLaren F1 GTR, judging by the driver sitting in a distinctive driving position. Racing footages depicts cars, including a Porsche 993 GT2, that was no longer eligible for racing by the time of Tucker's active career.
